Prairie Clover
From LoveToKnow Garden
Prairie Clover (Petalostemon) - Pretty clover-like perennials, mostly from the western states of America, and not much grown, though well worthy of cultivation in warm open soils, coming readily from seed. The best species are P. candidus, with white flowers on stems of 1 to 2 feet; P. oligophyllum, with spike-like white heads on slender stems; P. tenuifolium, with narrow silvery down-covered foliage, and spikes of rosypurple flowers; and violaceus, forming a neat tuft of finely-cut foliage and showy spikes of deep violet flowers. All are better for a dry place.
